Data Leakage

A Better Strategy to Prevent Data Leakage

Data leakage can be a nightmare for any organization. When sensitive customer data, corporate financials or intellectual property is leaked externally through email, the result can be devastating. Legal action may ensue, but these consequences often pale in comparison to the loss of customer confidence and corporate reputation.

Data leak prevention (DLP) technology can help prevent email data leakage, but many solutions are costly and complex and may stifle productivity by severely limiting access to sensitive information that employees require. When choosing DLP security solutions to address data leakage issues, organizations must ensure that the costs of such a system don’t outweigh the benefits.

Mimecast provides a state-of-the-art data breach prevention service that can monitor all email, identify potential leaks and automatically take action to stop them.
